Bella Blvd & Epiphany Crafts Team Up Week: Day Three

Welcome back to day three of our big week. Bella Blvd is teaming up with Epiphany Crafts for a week full of inspiration. We have a group of our Bella designers that have mixed Epiphany Crafts fun punches, epoxy shapes, and charms into our projects. And the Epiphany Crafts designers have been busy mixing Bella's collections and embellishments into their projects. We have loads of projects to share with you, and watch for a giveaway at the end of the week as well.

To make the
background for this layout, I used strips of a few different papers and
designer tapes. Mixing paper and tapes is a fun way to make unique
backgrounds. To decorate my page I used a few of Bella’s cute buttons and
the Shape Studio Tool Flower and Bubble
Caps Flower. I punched out flowers in different colors and added the bubble
caps from Epiphany crafts. It’s a very fun way to make your own embellishments.

To make this colourful party-card I mixed and matched
papers and elements from different Bella blvd collections. I adhered the large
party chipboard letters at the top of the card and decorated the bottom half
with flowers that I made using the flower punch and bubble caps from Epiphany
crafts.

I build a small landscape on this card using the
Epiphany flower punch and flower bubble caps. I punched out flowers in different
papers and adhered them to the cloud paper using pop dots. I cut out stems for
the flowers in green cardstock and made quilled leafs using the same cardstock.
I die cut some grass in green paper and then adhered it all in a polaroid
shape. And to finish the card off I decorated it with Bella’s orange tape,
buttons and letter stickers.

For this project I made use
of my die cutting machine and cut some stars into the background and used Bella
Blvd patterned paper and Designer Tapes to fill in the negative space. These
coordinated perfectly with the smaller star shape from Epiphany Crafts.

I used the leftover
cardstock stars from my layout for this card. First I made a background by
using a mix of Designer Tapes and then added the cardstock stars and stars made
using my Epiphany Crafts star punch. I finished it off with a diecut
sentiment.

I have four daughters and
as such hadn't used stars on my projects as much as you might use them if you
had boys. Just as we use flowers a lot on girl-themed pages I think that stars
are used a lot on "boy" projects. I backed the Epiphany Crafts stars
with a mix of patterned papers and added them to this quick and easy
card.

Now, head on over to the Epiphany Crafts blog and check out what their Design Team has created using their fun punches and accessories and our fun Bella products!
